Raid the Rock is Arkansas’s longest running adventure race. We’ve been around since 2001!

Get ready for a new adventure this year, we are changing some things up and getting back to our urban roots! Get your team together and come get your Adventure On!!

There will be two course options: an 4 hour sprint course and a 12 hour full adventure course. Each course will require advanced navigation (orienteering). You can find more information in the drop-down menu of the Race Information tab at www.raidtherock.com. Stay tuned for updates for each race.

Each race will include trekking/running, mountain biking, paddling, and if the location allows, a ropes section. All of these disciplines are done while navigating through the entire course with a compass and map. Teams may sign up in the following categories: 3 or 4 person male, female, or co-ed; 2 person male, female, or co-ed; and solo. Solo racers must submit a race “resume” to register.
